Fire King was Anchor Hocking's line of oven proof dinnerware and bake ware. One of their successful lines was mugs. Fire King made a huge variety of mugs - several sizes, a zillion decorations, many colors and themes - and these are collected today for obvious reasons. Mugs are fun, relatively inexpensive, useful and neat.
The one shown here is part of the Game birds series, this one featuring two Canadian geese flying over a pond on a fall day. You can find humorous mugs, cartoon character mugs, like Snoopy, plain colored mugs. There are some hideous ones too, including some rather ghastly avocado green or mustard and brown combinations. Of course there are people who like those colors. There truly is a mug for everyone!
